Ravenna, NE
AARP Community Challenge Grant Year: 2026
Project Category: Park enhancements
Description: Two outdoor pickleball courts will be constructed at the park, with concrete surfaces, fencing and permanent nets. The project will give residents a safer place to play and gather.
Holdrege, NE
AARP Community Challenge Grant Year: 2024
Project Category: Public art installations
Description: A long-vacant building in downtown Holdrege left residents without a safe, accessible place to gather. To address this, the foundation created the Midtown Sculpture Garden, adding ADA-compliant seating, tables, decorative lighting, trees and a mural of a Nebraska sunset. Older adults joined a community painting day and quickly embraced the space, which now hosts casual visits and will serve as a venue for art festivals and musical events. "I'm feeling almost giddy with happy feelings when I hear and read about and see the sculpture garden. This will improve the...future for Holdrege," wrote one local resident, reflecting the pride and connection the project has sparked.
